The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is investigating a two-vehicle collision involving a motorcycle and a pick-up truck that occurred Tuesday evening on Gateway Boulevard.

On April 23, 2024, at approximately 7:45 p.m., a group of motorcycle riders was travelling northbound on Gateway Boulevard near 19 Avenue. One of the riders, a 21-year-old male, who was operating a 2012 Suzuki GSXR600, collided with the rear of a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 being operated by a 21-year -old male.

The rider was ejected from the bike and slid to a stop in an adjacent lane. The rider sustained serious, non-life-threatening injuries and was treated and transported to hospital by EMS.

Speed is a factor in the collision. Both the GMC truck and motorcycle sustained significant damage. The EPS Major Collision Investigations Section has since taken over the investigation.

Investigators are asking anyone that may have witnessed or has dash camera footage of this collision to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.p3tips.com/250.
